Baltimore indie punks Liars Academy check in with a scorching cover of Leatherface’s I Don't Want to Be the One to Say It. The band has been relentless since February when they dropped their critically acclaimed third LP Ghosts. This spring, In between auditioning drummers, rehearsals and east coast dates, they hit Tesla Electric Recording in Charlotte, NC and put their mark onto a handful of brilliant cover songs. First up is this standout from Leatherface’s 1991 Mush album. All the gas and gin of the original funneled through the lens of Liars Academy.
“When a band releases their first album since 2004, it’s reasonable to wonder what energy they retain. But this long-belated third LP blasts hard as nails, full of punky rock ’n’ roll snarl and vinegar rendered without reservation.”
-Jack Rabid / Big Takeover
